The Fairy Tree

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

If you like elemental RPG, you’d definitely love this scene. You can play with the beautiful sprites and fairies in The Fairy Tree! You can invite your buddies to play and have fun as you jump on daisy flowers,  swing on a rose, and even  float on a water flower pad. You can sit on a flower that has awesome animations! Even the water has nodes too and that only means one thing, you can add more elemental and  fairy products and customize your very own fairy wonderland. If you’d like to get all the fun and excitement, it is best to buy the bundle, you get to save, and even have credits.

I’ll try to search and feature other exciting IMVU rooms and IMVU bundles as I explore the virtual world of IMVU, as well as other RPG, MMORPG, Avatar Chat Communities  and other free online games, flash games, etc.. Watch out for them in my next posts. Meanwhile, check out the video of the Fairy Tree!

The Curious Couple

The Honeymooners

The Honeymooners

After exploring the whole house and sharing an intimate time together, we talked about how it could be like outside. Red Butterfly could be a little scardy cat sometimes and I love teasing her. So, I told her about how people feared wandering around because of the speculations about the ghosts and stuff. She was like, “can we just stay in here, please?” I told her that we can, but there’s so much to see and discover outside.
After we ate our breakfast, I finally got to convince her to go outside. We started to check out the back of the house and picked flowers n the other side of the hill, I’ve also tried fishing, and then we decided to go boating around the stream. There was (more…)

Shanti's Place

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

After a long tiring day at the university online, Red Butterfly and I have decided to take a break. And so we’ve decided dine out and we’ve chosen to go to our common favorite place, Shanti’s Place. The manager and the stuff of the Club and Resto Bar are awesome. Shanti’s place is one of the friendliest places there in IMVU land and the staff are really accommodating. Red Butterfly and I have made a few friends like Add, Syrn, Wolf, Knight, Blue, The Candy Family, etc. We love the food here and as well as the drinks, because they patronize non alcoholic beverages. Although if you (more…)

The Mountain Drive

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

I was trying to browse some nice rooms when I accidentally clicked on the chat now button and unexpectedly met a filipina girl who is also into online games and taking online college courses. It turned out that she just signed up and created her own RPG 3D Avatar. I invited Red Butterfly over to the room to meet her. We were in her basic penthouse and she asked if we had other rooms and I said yeah. I asked Red Butterfly to switch rooms and then we took her for a short mountain drive as we were heading to the other side of the island to Red Butterfly’s beach house. (more…)

A Day at the Virtual Gym

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

After our virtual ecology trip, we decided to go to the gym. Just like how it is in real life, RPG virtual characters or Avatars go to the gym too. This particular gym room was given to me as a gift by a good friend named Shanti. She owns the virtual club called Shanti’s place. As you can see in the photo, this gym has a complete set of gym and exercise equipments. From treadmills, recliners, to bench with barbels, this room also goes with a boxing practice area.

There is a lobby too that looks more like a little pantry that is not included in the photo. The equipments include animations that simulates the lifelike exercises and the treadmill functions the way a real one does. You may also lift one of those barbels if you feel like it. This room isn’t all about exercising, it also goes with funny poses and couple poses.

Virtual Boxing

Virtual Boxing

I guess that’s about it, I just wanted to share this room and the virtual experience in my short day at the gym with Red Butterfly. Red Butterfly’s the one running on the treadmill wearing black and white exercise clothing. She’s also the one practicing  how to punch. It’s funny when she tries hitting that punching bag with her head too.  She looks pretty serious when she does this stuff. It makes me wonder if there’s someone she’d like to punch in real life. She just kicked my balls earlier today (Ouch!). Anyway, just click on the photos for a larger version of the images.

And if you want to experience all these, don’t hesitate to click that banner on the sidebar. It’s all that it takes.

Rooms and Bubbles

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Virtual Citizens communicate through Text Bubbles. This is true in most RPG, MMORPG, or any other games where players have the ability to talk and interact with one another. although most games uses chat boxes, I still prefer the bubbles. It can be a little annoying at time, most especially when you’re taking screen shots, good thing there’s a way to remove it. Anyway many are confused on how it works, basically, you  just invisibly type something you want to say and then it appears in bubble on top of your character. there’s an option to switch it a usual chat window through by pressing Ctrl and B simultaneously.

Buckstars Coffee

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Yes, you got it right! Buckstars Coffee, there is such. If in real life there’s the famous Starbucks Coffee  where people taking mba programs usually meet up, it also has it’s counterpart in the virtual world of RPG and MMORPG, and that is Buckstars Coffee. Where coffee is good, it’s staggering where you get everything for the price of a buck. Buckstars is one of the basic and most important among what they call locked rooms. Aside from being a place where you can have virtual coffee talk and hang out with your friends, it’s also the room wherein you land on every time you get booted up in a conversation, where you’re not the owner of the place.

The Virtual World and Environment

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008
Before I go to the topic about my avatar, I would like to talk about the Virtual World and environment in which my Avatar will become a virtual citizen of. If there are different types of Online Degree Programs, There are also a lot of virtual games and environment that you could choose from, either from single player and multi player games, realms, or chat softwares that includes a virtual environment and simulation games, otherwise known as RPG interface. There’s The SIMS with a lot of extensions and you can install in your machine and run with or without the net connection, there are also online multiplayer games with simulation environments and interactive 3D chat software fully loaded with so many features that you can install and run just like There, Kaneva, Secondlife, and IMVU. And in my case I have tried most of them but have settled with IMVU, a continously growing online network and Virtual world. The Avatars in IMVU are 3D and more detailed than the other counterparts most especially when it comes to skins, eyes, and even  the rooms and clothes, etc. I have had my other Avatar for about a year now, but for the sake of this blog and for a new beginning, I have signed up for a new account and created a new Avatar named awakekoholic.

The First Journey Towards Virtual Reality

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
If getting a degree online has an enrollment process, the first step in becoming a part of the Virtual World is to create your own virtual entity. It could be a reflection of yourself in real life, a character that you desire to become, or a role that you’d like to portray in any online games, may it be RPG, MMORPG or what have you. A virtual entity otherwise known as Avatar. An avatar is the 3D pseudo physical representation of yourself and your existence in the world of virtual reality. Some create themselves into monsters, some into bots, some into elves, vampires, heroes, etc. But I chose to remain in the realm of humans. A real life avatar as what they call it. Human in form from head to toe, only an animated representation of yourself. Well, we can’t deny that not all human avatars are real life avatars, or a reflection of the owner in the real world. You are given the option to make your avatar good looking, sexy, perfectly proportioned from head to toe, or to look like any celebrity that you dream to be. Most virtual citizens choose to be those perfect characters, most especially those who dream to become famous, and some to fulfill their frustrations in real life. But still, it’s different when you make or customize your own real life avatar. Because that way, you get to experience the best of virtual world like experiencing it in real life, because you get to see a  3D reflection of you in every scene. In my next post I will be posting photos of my virtual entity aka avatar.

Taking A Different Route

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

Most people blog about things that happens in real life some about their online college degree. The things they do, their experiences, what they have observed, new discoveries, and all that pertains to their daily personal experiences. Some people write about what’s on the news, what’s the hottest product in the market, people dying and people killing people, the hottest trends in fashion, music and sports industry. Some blogs to share their passion in writing, poetry, music, art, and photography. That’s what the usual blogging is all about. I myself prefer to belong to the other side of bloggers, people who blog about their favorite online games, RPG games in particular the newest and hippest softwares to hit the web, but more specifically about virtual life. Sometimes there are things that we can’t do in real life that are possible in virtual reality, you discover people, make new friends, join a community, discover new places, hang out with your friends, and even become famous in the virtual world. A world that the only limit is your own imagination. An escape from reality, and sometimes a stepping stone to finding your dream in real life. A way to make real friends, and to become inspired to make those dreams and adventures real. Today, I will be taking a different route in blogging and take the same journey as those who have gone before me.
